In a bizarre hearing the NAC ruled that Diaz would be suspended for five years and fined $165,000 for failing a drug test for marijuana. It was his third weed offense in the state. There are serious doubts about the accuracy of Diaz’s test.

The lengthy suspension brought a considerable amount of criticism. Everyone from fans to celebrities like Cher voiced support. A White House petition to get the ruling overturned earned more than 100,000 signatures.

One thing is for sure, we want to see him fight again.
